Standard

Somewhere between allowing our work to consume our lives and getting stuck in a pattern of being busy all the time, we forget to truly appreciate and experience the world around us.

In the Bahamas, we’re surrounded by paradise complete with the best beaches and the most beautiful resorts in the world. Yet, we would ultimately spend a fortune to vacation elsewhere; without batting an eye.

Not only can you save money by staycationing at home but it affords you the opportunity to unplug and change your perspective. Save yourself thousands of dollars and visit the Islands of the Bahamas like you’ve never seen them before.

Nandana – West End, Grand Bahama: If you live in the city or find yourself frequently visiting Nassau, break up with your daily routine and visit Nandana. Just 65 miles from South Florida, you won’t believe you didn’t hop on a plane; it’s breathtaking, exclusive and most importantly in the Bahamas.

Picture an Asian style mansion on a swank oceanfront estate with the freedom to combine island and villa life. If this isn’t enough, imagine a full staff at your service around the clock, gourmet cuisine served just the way you like it and an on site masseuse willing to release all the knots in your neck.

If a romantic getaway is just what you and your significant other have been dreaming about, then this one is for you. At 8500 a night, Nandana promises a unique experience like no other.
